2 Goals Basic defect Pathophysiology Clinical i l signs and symptoms Therapy

3 What is Cystic Fibrosis? Chronic, progressive and life limiting autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by chronic respiratory disease, pancreatic insufficiency, elevation of sweat electrolytes and male infertility

4 Clinical Presentation Chloride channel defect in exocrine glands Thick secretions Recurrent pneumonia Pancreatic insufficiency High salt content in sweat Male infertility
